HC Deb 20 March 2000 vol 346 cc400-1W
Dr. Strang

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what is the estimated level of capital investment by National Air Traffic Services for(a) 1999–2000, (b) 2000–01 and (c) 2001–02; and how much of that investment will go to the New Scottish Centre in each of these years. [115509]

Mr. Mullin

The 1999 NATS Business Plan estimated capital investments are at the following levels.

£ million
1999–2000 55.6
2000–01 47.5
2001–02 53.7

NATS are currently developing a long-term investment plan, which will be completed in the next few months.

It is not possible to give a precise estimate of the likely expenditure on the New Scottish Centre over the next few years as the contract for construction of the centre building has yet to be let. However the cost of the centre is expected to be of the order of £400 million, and is expected to come into operation in the winter of 2006–07.

Dr. Strang

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions if he will list the civil airports in the UK, specifying which use National Air Traffic Services to provide air traffic control services. [115508]
